- The theme of the website http://www.barackobama.com/issues/education/ is Join the Movement. Barack Obama is the candidate. Obama is running for president in 2008.
- The theme of the website http://gsc.tamu.edu/pages/about.htm is that the officers are elected by the GSC student council in the Spring.
-On the issue of higher education, Obama wants to increase federal aid such as pell grants to improve the accessibility of higher education. Obama promises eliminate wasteful subsidies to private student lenders and instead support the federal Direct Loan program, invest the savings in additional student aid, and add greater transparency to the student financial aid process- The theme of the website is Join the Movement.
- GSC's goals are to:
1.Identify, share, and discuss issues pertinent to graduate and professional students in order to maintain academic freedom, to improve the quality of instruction, to develop and strengthen the University's recruitment and retention programs, to encourage training, fair compensation and benefits, and to ensure that quality student services are made available.
2.Be recognized as representing a unique population within the University System.
3.Establish open and effective communications with the University and its constituents.
4.Establish open and effective communications within the graduate and professional student body on issues that affect all areas of the graduate student population.
5.Serve as a venue for graduate and professional students at Texas A&M by providing opportunities for social interaction and service to the local community.
- Obama uses his website to network his supporters so that they can support him more effectively. His site focuses on interactive involvement.
-The GSC's site focuses on a more direct way to get involved by linking the site vote.tamu.edu to persuade people to vote.
-The Obama site uses a more interactive approach by asking for your email address so they can keep you updated. And the GSC website uses a more indirect approach with less interactive links.
